Our Beliefs

The vision of Zoe Pentecostal Mission was borne out of:

  1. The great need in the missionary field; God was looking for a man whom He will send to the mission field to disciple and provide an apostolic covering for His sheep in foreign lands.
  2. A great desire to see the restoration of the “whole Truth to the whole man”, the wholesome word of God is lacking on the pulpit and the spirit of compromise is ruling and reigning.

God choose to source the answers in His servant, Dr. Michael Tayo Adenitire. It all happened when the Lord was about to send him out in his first missionary journey to India in the year 1982. God appeared to him in a vision during a camp meeting organized by The Redeemed Christian Church of God at Ede, under the leadership of Pa. Dr. E.A.Adeboye. The Lord said, “I am calling you with a high calling to preach the full gospel without compromise”.

As a confirmation to this, later that year, he was sent on a missionary trip to India which turned out to be a successful mission: sinners were saved, believers were edified, the sick were healed and the oppressed delivered. When he returned back to Nigeria in the year 1983, Dr. Adenitire went back to his secular work, pursued further degree in Communication System Engineering and got married.

He was at the verge of finishing his course when the Lord re-appeared to him while he was on campus and said: “you have wasted my time enough, it’s time for you to obey me, for I am sending you to a far away land to proclaim my truth”.

On returning home, he shared the message with his wife, who encouraged him to finish his course. However, since he was convinced of what the Lord had told him, he decided to obey God. Nevertheless, for further confirmation he sought the advice of his father in the Lord, who received him with great pleasure and reassured him that it was time to serve God on a full-time basis.

Michael obeyed, and after a month, he started full-time work with The Redeemed Christian Church of God and pioneered the second model parish of the Church in Ibadan.

One year later, strange enough, God told him: “you have accomplished all that I had called you to do here, you need to move to the next phase of your calling and ministry“. It was with a sad and heavy heart that he obeyed the Lord, because the leadership of the Church loved and held him in high esteem.

Beginning in ItalyGod gave him John 10:10 as the basis for his vision and mission. He asked him to preach Abundant Life as the only way man can recover all he had lost in the first Adam. He was given the mandate to restore back the value of the Bible in His Church, and to build God a Temple so that He can dwell in the midst of His people.

This vision has been transformed to missions to be accomplished, not only in Italy where he is based but around the globe, precisely in the continents of America, Europe, and Africa where God has planted Assemblies for the Mission. God has also exalted His name in justifying the mandate given to His servant in other nations where he has had the opportunity to minister.
